There’s no better time than Women’s History Month to talk about a woman who has “run the world” for decades. And that woman—Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter—is known by her first name only, which tells you something about her level of fame worldwide.
One of the things people love about Beyoncé, or Queen Bey as she’s become known since soaring to royalty status, is that, as famous as she becomes, she sticks close to her roots. And those roots were planted right here in Houston, where her mother still lives and enjoys frequent visits from her loving superstar daughter.

Bey sightings aren’t fleeting. Beyoncé remains deeply connected to Houston, through her history, philanthropy, music, and regular visits to the city she still calls home (Take that, Los Angeles!).
If you’re a fan or just have mad respect for this musical icon, you can pay homage to her while touring her hometown and learning about her meteoric rise to fame. We’re here with all the spots to visit in Houston where you can walk in the steps of the one-and-only Beyoncé.
